Does not look much from the outside but we were lucky to get room 16. Fantastic view through the trees to the Columbia river. The room was very bright and clean. Had a microwave and fridge (just lacking some dishes) Difficulty with the wireless internet but it was OK outside. VERY friendly staff. Oh, did I mention how comfortable and HUGE the bed was??? For your protection it had a fluid resistant sheet underneath the decent bedding, which I found to be a bit hot. Old loud air-conditioner and the windows did not open, so it was a bit stuffy.

Room Tip: Rooms in the back of course are quieter.

If you are looking for a Kitchen unit, Twin Rivers Motel is your only viable choice in Castlegar. Highlights: (1) The kitchens in this motel are fantastic: new General Electric gas stoves, full size fridges, new vinyl or laminate flooring (it varies by unit), new cupboards, big sinks with new plumbing, tons of water pressure and plentiful hot water. The supply of utensils, plates, pots and pans was a bit spotty by unit but whatever we found lacking the helpful staff quickly produced a new from their stock room. (2) Clean with Daily Housekeeping: The units are well kept, and staff clean daily as well as bringing in new linens. They really clean too … bathroom and kitchen cleaned daily, floors vacuumed. This is a cut above most motels where they just make the bed and or change the linen. The Twin Rivers staff actually clean your suite as if new guests are arriving, a real treat, and in my experience unprecedented at this budget price. (3) The location for this motel is quite good along the main Columbia Avenue yet away from the intersections and highway connectors. While there is traffic out front, it’s local, not heavy trucks and not the volume found along the highway. (4) Nice bachelor suites. One wing of the motel runs East-West and is comprised of bachelor units with uniform furnishings and updated flooring. Most of these units face the courtyard on the riverside of the property, away from the road. Short-term stay travellers will likely enjoy this location and the value of these units more than any of the chain motels in town. The river area provides a very welcome reprieve from the summer heat, and these units have a classic flat roof and beam awning that covers the walks and door ways, ideal for coming and going in snow and rain. (5) Spacious one-bedroom suites. The front, road-facing units are all spacious one-bedroom suites with full size picture windows out front. The bathrooms and bedroom are on the riverside at the back, the living room (with another queen bed), and kitchen at the front, roadside. Both the living room and bedroom have closets. It’s drive up parking here to your front door. (6) Gas, individual heaters in each unit – very warm if you like. (7) Air conditioning too. (8) Pet friendly. If you are able bodied, you will find a switch back trail off the back that takes you down to the river where there is a stream, a flat meandering path in the woods, a beach, and a trail that you can take all the way to a more significant creek towards the South. A great morning outing for you and your Pet without getting into your car. What is idiosyncratic: (1) No doors on the suite bedrooms and the bathroom is as an ensuite; This is fine when all parties staying usually live in close quarters with each other but might be awkward if you were expecting more privacy between sleeping areas. (2) Every one-bedroom suite has an entirely different set of flooring and differing furniture, with a great deal of variance in age and condition between units. The manager’s were super helpful in letting us see all available suites, so we selected one with brand new carpet in the living room and bedroom, and brand new, well installed laminate flooring in the kitchen, vinyl in the entry and in the bathroom, with a full tub in the bathroom. Our suite also had a sofa in the living room, which made for a nicer, more livable space. Other suites had shower stalls, some had all laminate flooring, others had older carpet that still retained the cigarette smell from the era when indoor smoking was all the rage, chairs were missing or mismatched, only the suite we took had a sofa, TVs were flat screen or the giant models before LD, mattresses were good but head boards spanned every era from the 1960 to the present. You get the picture, this is not a chain and it is updated on an as-needed basis so be sure to ask and take your pick! Some wishes: (1) The kitchens could use a set of hooks so that dish towels can hang up, and a towel bar in the bathroom near the tub would be nice. (2) The bathroom lacks a fan. We kept the window open when showering but it really needs a fan for better ventilation and to minimize humidity. (3) Reupholster the furnishings and get new bed spreads. When you are keeping a place nice and clean and have friendly, sincere staff and a good location, it is a shame to have it look run down with such minor niceties.

Our hounds loved the low, wide picture window so they could sit in the living room and keep tabs on the town.

Room Tip: Ask to see every available room (don't be shy) then make your pick.

It's not the Hilton (or the Flamingo Hilton for that matter) but for the price we couldn't ask for anything better. Rooms in the back are secluded and quiet with BBQ and picnic table overlooking the Columbia River. Our non-smoking room was clean and comfy with full kitchen and complementary wireless Internet. (Smoking rooms available) Located right beside Tim's with grocery across the street. Majority of patrons seemed to be returning customers which speaks for itself. Motel run by a John and Patti, a fun, friendly couple. Highly recommended for couples and singles. Families with children might prefer a place with pool and children type amenities.

Room Tip: Ask for room in the back by the river. They also have a couple of trailers to rent for longer (1 we...

We were travelling with a dog and this motel was what we needed. They had a room that had no carpet and that was at the back of the motel where it's very quiet. We had a good sleep there and we enjoyed the amenities normally expected for a motel of that category. There is a river at the back that make the back rooms more interesting.

The room was excellent, with a great view of the River. The people went out of their way to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. They answered all my questions about interesting things to see in the surrounding area.

Room Tip: On a hot summer day ask for a room that is not in direct sun-light if possible.
